The Hippodrome launches wine club with sommelier Salvo Russo
The Hippodrome Casino is giving guests hitherto unprecedented access to its wine cellar as it launches a wine club with sommelier Salvo Russo, bringing some of the world’s finest wine producers together in London.
The Hippodrome Wine Club launched on 24 August with an event centred around Argentine wine and featured a masterclass hosted by UK Export Manager, Pedro San Martin of Bodega Catena Zapata. Founded in 1902, this family-run producer is globally renowned for its pioneering role in resurrecting Malbec and discovering new and extreme, high-altitude terroirs in the Andean foothills on Mendoza.
Wines presented including a double magnum of Malbec Argentino 2019 that was awarded 99 points by James Suckling, Catena Alta Malbec magnums 2016, Catena Appellation Agrelo Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 and Catena Alta Chardonnay 2018.
The events take place in the Hippodrome’s eclectic Boozy Tea Room cocktail lounge, where guests sample the wines alongside a four course menu created by Ioannis Grammenos.
The next wine club event will take place on 26 October with a Napa Valley masterclass featuring the historic Stags Leap Wine Cellars.
“With a reputation for elegant wines, all delicately balanced with depth, flavour, intensity and finesse, this exclusive masterclass is one you won’t want to miss. Tickets are available now for £150 for the four-course paired dinner and tasting – early booking is recommended to avoid disappointment,” the Hippodrome said in a release.
